Chapter 42 - tribes interacting

It had now been a month since the tribes had been made, and they had all now and their unique rituals and beliefs that also come with unique culture and types of technology.

Some tribes preferred to use their claws while others liked to use large sharpened sticks as spears and others liked throwing large stones at prey. Many different fighting styles were being made at this time as the Jackrixis experimented and tested everything around them that they could.

They were at this stage in time more advanced than humans were at this time, so it was quite obvious to Jack that the games made things go faster for the audience.

However, even though they joined tribe and they knew of each other's existence, they hadn't verbally interacted properly with each other. But this was going to change as the more curious and adventurous tribes sent out parties to go to these other tribes to learn or even just talk.

But once again, there is always an opposite, and some tribes didn't want to find or be found by others and made efforts to stay hidden. Currently, a tribe was meeting with another as they both were in the same biome and weren't that far away from each other.

This was the poison hunter tribe and the large red rixis tribe who were both in the plains biome and had seen each other around while hunting. So eventually, after some small interaction, they decide to meet up as two tribes with all members coming, and they decide to meet at a designated spot.

Things at the start were tense as this was the largest gathering of rixis of its kind ever with around 70 Jackrixis, which was quite a sight to see.

You would think that these two tribes wouldn't get along with them being so different, but that wasn't the case as they were from the same biome and hadn't been so separated as to be strangers. There were some disagreements, but that was expected, and it was mostly about the style in which they hunt their prey.

But also they had a lot they agreed on, such as the worship of the gods, and both agreed that it would be better to be allies than enemies.

The blessed leader also knew they wouldn't have an easy win like most of his clanmates thought they would because of the way the other tribe fights. They use poison to fight larger beasts than themselves and are good at evading and attacking from afar but are also skilled at hiding.

The Red rixis would probably win in the end since they had larger numbers and better tactics than the average beast. It also helped that their leader had been blessed, which to other tribes would be a sign not to touch the tribe as it was favoured by the gods.

Most likely, they would win, but heavy casualties would lead to the destruction of both tribes which the leader with his blessing realised. He had a large grin on his face as he realised what his god's wisdom brought them as it stopped unnecessary death, bloodshed and pain that would weaken the race as a whole.

The other rixis didn't know why their boss was smiling, but guessed he was happy with how things were going, so they continued mingling. Now, with this meeting, the two tribes were on friendlier terms, and this could lead to further collaboration in the future.

This is what a lot of people forget. Not all meetings start with instant friends or enemies and also don't immediately start making deals but will just meet each other.

"Hey, system no offence, but it's getting kinda annoying not giving these guys names. When are they going to have them?"-Jack

[]Well host when the language progresses further, and there is a need for it, but I don't think it will be long until they start having names[]

"That's way better than calling the guy I blessed the red rixis, and the tribes will get names as well"-Jack

"But now that I think about it system who do they know our names, the gods I mean"-Jack

[]It is a thing that the races of the games instinctively know and will always know even if it changes for whatever reason[]

In the other tribes, the sand striders who didn't know they were called sand striders were wandering the desert as they usually do. An average day for them, and they enjoyed the shifting of the sands and watching the sun move across the sky.

Just another day as they continued to explore the desert, which was by far the largest of the biomes as it wasn't fully explored yet. Most of the biomes had been explored except for some areas here and there. The only one like the desert, of course, was the tribe in the sea.

The group of three sand striders was walking with the winds until they noticed a large hole on the floor of the desert, which seemed very odd. Two females and one male looked at each other before calmly walking toward the hole, making sure to stay alert as they did.

Once they were closer, they wanted to look down and see into the hole which opened into a large cavern, and within it were shiny materials that shone in the darkness of the cave. They didn't want to go down there, in case it was dangerous, so they went back to their tribe and reported it to the leader and elder. Being intrigued they decided after some discussion to send a group of 10 rixis to search the hole for dangers and riches.

Meanwhile, in another part of the world, not too far from the land of the rixis but still two or 3 weeks away in a cold forest. Some little creatures who were wandering throughout the frozen wasteland in small groups and would inspect different parts of the forest. They were inquisitive little fellows and seemed adept at resisting the cold as they enjoyed their frozen home not knowing what was to come.
